Tom Bailey and I searched the web for royalty free music which we could use on our A Level trailer which doesn't flout copyright regulations.
In order to gain access to some royalty free music I had had to sign for the licence and state its purpose and agree to the company's terms and conditions.
We are aware that trailers use more than one piece of music in their finished products, so we contacted some bands to see if they would give us the rights to use some of their music in our trailer. If some of the music we had didn't fit properly with our finished visual products, then having more options from bands is good as security. The bands we contacted (Abi contacted 'Mumm-Ra' on Twitter and I contacted Cyrus Rose on Facebook) were very supportive and gave us the rights to one of their songs, and also wanted to see our finished production.
YouTube also gives the option for accessing royalty free music with no lyrics on which could be useful for us to use. YouTube gives different options of genres of music depending on the type of mood we want to create in the movie. It is also possible to download music from YouTube for our film which creatives have made themselves and we ask permission via comments, or if the film maker has put in the text box below the video 'can be used for movie purposes' or other alternatives along those lines.
